NKOTBSB European dates to be announced soon

StereoBoard.com has announced that news about NKOTBSB touring in Europe may be coming next week! Here is the article:

It's the news that many boy band fans have been waiting for, New Kids on the Block and The Backstreet Boys are set to announce their anticipated UK tour dates early next week. Be sure to check back to Stereoboard from Monday 3rd October, as we'll be posting the dates as soon as they are announced!

New Kids on the Block have recently toured the US with The Backstreet Boys and Stereoboard revealed earlier this year that NKOTB’s manager Jared Paul was busy arranging UK and European dates. Paul is now on the verge of revealing the dates to fans.

Earlier this year in July, a series of tweets between Jared Paul and fans revealed that the dates were being arranged. In one tweet, Paul wrote, "Inquiring bheads- yes I'm in meetings for the upcming uk+euro tour. Its bn a long time cmng. as soon as I knw the final details so will u XO".

The enticing combination of pop supergroups NKOTB and The Backstreet Boys (abbreviated to NKOTB/BSB) will send fans into a frenzy once dates have been announced, with tickets for what will be arena shows expected to be in huge demand.

The tour looks set to go ahead in Spring 2012 and Jared Paul, again through Twitter, let slip that the tour wouldn’t be exclusive to major UK cities only, posting, “prob not as many regional dates but yes not just london, manchester, bham, etc”. He then continued to explain, “Working on routing, its changed ten times. I want the best venues on the best nites fo u all.”

Check back to Stereoboard.com from Monday 3rd October as its expected that the NKOTBSB tour dates will be announced early next week with tickets for the shows possibly onsale from 9am on Friday 7th October.

Jordan Knight helps write new single for Michael Africk - Listen here!

In an article by the Edmonton Journal last May, it was reported that Jordan's "Unfinished" album would include a song called "Make it Loud". As we know, the song did not make the album, but it appears the song has surfaced, except it's not Jordan's version. Michael Africk's new single is called "Make It Loud" and Michael posted on his Facebook page that "Make it Loud" was written by Michael Africk, Louis Lü Balz Bell, Mike Caputo and Jordan Knight. So, I'm guessing it is the same song Jordan recorded. At any rate, Jordan did help write this song. Check it out below!

NKOTB News: September 21

In a recent interview with MTV, Mark Wahlberg says they are planning an Internet-based reality show about running the upcoming Wahlburger's restaurant. Here's the quote:

And, about those hamburgers, Wahlberg told us that not only is he deadly, deliciously serious about opening a patty joint with his brothers called Wahlburgers, but they're also planning to shoot an Internet-based reality show about the effort.

"Listen, when I told the story that I wanted to do a show about a movie star and his five friends running around Hollywood, everybody said it was the dumbest idea in the world," Wahlberg said of his "Entourage" success. "My brother is a five-star chef. So it's a family-run business. You're going to see us doing a reality show about building the business. This is the real deal. We'll throw it up there and see if it sticks."

Don't forget Donnie will be on Rachael Ray's show tomorrow. There is a preview clip on The Rachael Ray Show Website.

NKOTB News for September 16

Here are some updates about NKOTB:

• CBC Had an article about "Cover Me Canada" the TV in which Jordan will be a judge. Here are some quotes from Jordan...

By the day it gets more and more exciting. This is a really big production, there's going to be amazing talent on the stage and I think it's going to be a real big hit, I really do.

On the contestants: We're sequestered! We have armed guards right now actually. And if I even look the wrong way I may get electrocuted... no, we haven't seen any of the talent yet. I've heard that they've really picked some of the brightest and best unknown artists in Canada. You know they went out and really picked the cream of the crop and got some great talent.


On each other (the judges): This is a reunion! From 10 years ago... my manager used to manage Deborah and I used to see her all the time. I worked with Ron at Interscope. He was helping me develop some songs at that label for a solo project so it's really funny that we have reunited like this.


On the eventual winner: My hope is that they take full advantage of the exposure that they're going to get on the show. From the feedback that they get from us and from the feedback that they get from fans. They have a really great chance to develop their own fanbase, whether they win or not and the show is encouraging them and actually making them get involved in the social media aspect of everything. They really all have a great chance of developing their own fanbase.


On Canadian music he wants to hear: Alanis Morrisette's Jagged Little Pill album comes to mind. I would like to see someone do something with that. Again, I don't know the material they're doing, I don't even know the artists. When this show goes live that's when I know what the heck's going on. I'm just looking forward to seeing the actual artists do their thing.


On why YOU should watch: I think it's a nice twist on a kind of well known concept of musical groups competing in a reality show because they're singing songs that everybody knows and they're making it their own. Another great thing is that it's not going to be all groups from the same genre. There's country, there's hip hop, there's rock. They're all from a different genre so it's not going to be mundane and boring. It's going to be very exciting.

• Here is a photo Jordan shared via Twitter with his Cover Me co-stars, Nicole Appleton and Deborah Cox.

• Also, word from Twitter is Jordan will be joining Nicole Appleton, Deborah Cox, & Ron Fair at the Hazelton Hotel in Toronto for CBC press tomorrow from 1 to 2PM.

Jordan Knight's Interview with CBC Live

CBC Live did an interview with Jordan to talk about his upcoming appearance on the TV Show "Cover Me Canada" and more:

You'll have seen yesterday's interview with Deborah Cox, one of the recently announced judges for CBC's new talent show, Cover Me Canada. Along with Deborah and Ron Fair, Cover Me's other judge is one fifth of New Kids on the Block - Jordan Knight. But he's certainly not a new kid to the music business. We've had the pleasure of speaking to Jordan too, albeit in the midst of a power cut...

Hi Jordan, thanks for speaking to us - how's it going?
Not too bad, actually, it's kinda funny - my power just went out. Kinda weird, all the power in my house just died.

That's a bit odd. Where are you at the moment?
I'm in Massachusetts. We had the storm, the hurricane. Yeah, so Irene. It's probably something related to that. I'm not too worried about it.

To the business at hand sir, you've been announced as one of the judges for Cover Me Canada, how much do you know about the contestants?
We're still going to learn more about the contestants, but from what I hear, the producers of the show have scoured the country really, and have come up with the cream of the crop. It's not really like American Idol where they let people come on and some of them make fools of themselves. It's really acts that are bubbling under and on the cusp of becoming known stars and known recording artists. It'll be really cool I think, seeing the talent Canada has.

Do you have any predictions for how the acts will get on?
Well there are different kinds of acts, there's country, there's hip hop, there's R&B - different flavours. I think that'll make it a lot of fun.

What do you know about the other judges?
I go back - I know Ron Fair and I know Deborah Cox. I used to be managed by the same manager as Deborah and I worked with Ron at Interscope Records about 10 years ago, so that's pretty cool.

He's a big name
Yeah, he's a great producer. He's kind of a big wig in the executive field of the record business!

What are you looking for from the contestants?
Me, I'm looking for creativity, originality, star quality and musicianship. The whole package, really. Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for, some people are just so original they stand out. Just that kind of star quality appeal. That can come in many ways, you could have a very introverted artist and because their artistry is so incredible they really stand out. It's hard to say what's going to make a person a star really.

You've experienced so much in the music world already, so for someone to stand out for you they'll have to be pretty special, right?
Well, I have seen many different acts. My whole thing is that I can maybe see more of the potential in the contestants and try to help coach them along because I personally know the process. I know what it takes to get from A to Z, as far as being groomed and grooming myself and the process of creating a song or creating a stage presence. Also, I know what might be going through their minds on stage, or while they're creating music. Their hopes, their fears, their process. Maybe I can give a good perspective on that as well.

How do the acts make the cover songs their own?
I think they just have to let their abilities translate the songs into what they do best. If they're great harmonizers they've got to take the melody of the song and make it theirs. There might be a hip-hop group that are assigned a country song - they've just got to focus on what they know, their genre, their strengths and flip the song into what they do best.

How does covering classics compare to performing original songs?
It think it's more of a challenge, but I think it'll be fun for the audience because we will know the song, and how it's supposed to sound. I think for the audience it'll be fun to watch them recreate the song and it'll give the audience a springboard, a platform into what the artist does with it because it's a known song. It'll be more of a challenge, maybe, for the artist to flip the song and make it their own.

Speaking of the audience, what are you asking of the people at home? How can they help?
A lot of responsibility is going to go onto the artist, they're going to be encouraged to get involved with social media and to create their Twitter accounts and Facebook pages and a lot of their points are going to go in to how many followers they have on Twitter and how many likes they have on Facebook, all that kind of stuff. So we want the audience to get involved in the social media aspect, and I think they will. A lot of that is going to be on the show, the artists pushing themselves out there and getting the audience involved and to really back them. It's going to be interesting to see the artist develop a fanbase through the show. And I think that's a great thing, even if they don't win, even if they don't make it to the final rounds they will be so much better off. It's going to be great for all the artists on the show to have that opportunity to create a broader fanbase on a national level.

Do you have any favourite Canadian songs or artists to cover?
You know what? I haven't done much homework on that aspect! So, y'know, there's the stock answer: Bryan Adams, who's incredible. I hope that some of his songs are on the show. I'm sure they will be. Oh! Alanis Morissette! I really hope that some of her songs will be translated. Jagged Little Pill was great, so I hope something from that will be on the show.

Donnie Wahlberg Interview with Positive Side TV

Wahlburger's Reality Show?

E! Online is reporting that there may be a reality show that would show behind the scenes of opening the new Wahlburger's restaurant. The article also says the Wahlbergs are interested in creating a health and wellness business and creating a clothing line. Here is the article:

We've seen Mark Wahlberg sing, dance, act and even model in his skivvies.

So could reality TV be next for the A-lister formerly known as Marky Mark?

Sure sounds like it...

Wahlberg revealed earlier today that he and his brothers are thinking about shooting a reality series that would follow the opening of their new high-end burger joint, Wahlburger's.

However, Mark isn't so keen to appear on the show.

"Maybe I'll be the Charlie's Angels of reality TV," Wahlberg said at the Graduate to Go Studio launch at the L.A. Harbor Boys & Girls Club. "You'll hear my voice. But obviously it's something that we'd want to control in every aspect and produce and make sure that we were doing something really quality."

And the restaurant business isn't the only venture on Wahlberg's mind.

"We are interested at some point or another doing our own clothing line in the future," he said. "As well as a health and wellness business that will help people first and foremost feel good, exercise, eat right and then look good...Eighty-five percent of the population doesn't exercise and eat right, and you want to be able to push them in the direction of extending their lifespan and living healthy lives."

Speaking of living well, Wahlberg hopes partnering with the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens for today's launch of the Graduate to Go Studio will have a major impact on disadvantaged youth. "They just keep creating new ways for kids to want to stay in school and want to stay out of trouble," he said. "I just love what they do."
